Really enjoyed this til the ending. Ending seemed so out of the blue.

This is more like a 3.5 star. It's a good page turner but the multi-storied setup was distracting and kind of irritating to me. The murderer reveal was saved for the last few pages too, which kept me going but by the time I got there, it fell flat. Worth the read? Yes. Will I remember it? Probably not haha.

I do not like the narrator. Will listen to the original audiobook which is narrated by one of my faves.

For me, the beginning was hard to follow. So many plots and so many names it’s hard to keep straight. The more the book went on the more you realize how important each character is in the story. Took me a little bit to really get into but overall it was a good book!

Compelling and intriguing. I enjoyed the timeline and jumping back into the event 20 years earlier. It was interesting seeing it all unravel.

I wasn't sure how I'd feel reading about 9/11 in a novel, but I think the author did it justice, and I actually learned quite a bit too. I think it was incorporated well into the story.

There were some crazy twists that shocked me and kept me engaged and guessing all the way to the end. I'd definitely read this author again.
